Free indoor football game at the American Bank Center Sunday

CORPUS CHRISTI - While the Hammerheads will open their indoor football season Saturday in Abilene, South Texans can see the Rio Grande Valley Magic open their season against the Houston Stallions on Sunday at the American Bank Center.

The game was scheduled for Monday night in Houston but was moved because the owner of the Houston team was unable to complete negotiations on an arena lease agreement.

Chad Dittman, co-owner of the Hammerheads and the Magic, said the State Farm Arena in McAllen was booked.

Tickets for the 4:05 p.m. Magic-Stallions game will be free to the public on a first-come basis with a limit of four general admission tickets per person. Tickets will be available at the American Bank Center box office beginning at 10 a.m. today. The Hammerheads will play their first home game against the Magic at 7:05 p.m. on April 9.
